Hi,
I'm a newbie to Mac's, so please excuse me, though I have had PC's for over 25years! I was given a IMAC, G4 and I have upgraded it with DVD DL burner, bigger HD and more memory. Installed leaopard and hey it works.. In a fashion.
It won't boot from the HD, but it does from the DVD with the operating disk. Once it boots I can get in to disk util's select the HD partition and it boots and the machine functions perfectly. (Still getting to grips with leopard with a single button mouse! Ordered the new type with scroll button)
Having read lots of infomation I believe I need to get in to the OF and change the setting for my new HD (500Gig) but I may be wrong?
Need help on this, all help greatfully accepted.
Regards, Knutech
